Rachel McAdams is ready to take flight in this sheer, bird-covered gown

On screen in Doctor Strange, Rachel McAdams plays a surgeon and the love interest of titular character Stephen Strange. On the red carpet, though, she is — always — an incomparably elegant star whose magnetism is undeniable.

The latest example of her fashion dominance? A red carpet screening of her new film in London this week, where McAdams drew the focus of all in attendance. Wearing a sheer Elie Saab couture gown, covered top to bottom with embroidered doves and bluebirds, the actress brought to life a dress that is a work of art in its own right.

Elie Saab debuted the dress on the runways of Paris Couture Week earlier this year as part of his fall/winter 2016 “Impressions of New York” collection.

In an Instagram photo of the dress, the designer wrote, “Uplifting nature’s presence in the city. A sense of freedom and invitation to dream,” which we think does a gorgeous job capturing the gown’s essence.

The gown’s embroidered, three-dimensional details give it exactly the kind of head-turning quality that a star like McAdams deserves.
